SEYMOUR, Tenn. — Young gun Dalton Davis from Millington, Tenn. won the curfew-shortened United Sprint Car Series feature at 411 Motor Speedway Friday night.  The story line was set as drivers were prepared to make their move to the front. The weather was perfect but the local sheriff pulled the plug at lap 15 to end what was turning out to be an exciting race on the high banks of 411 speedway.

Davis survived two restarts and repeated challenges by defending series champion Tim “Crawdaddy” Crawley. Pole-sitter Anthony Nicholson held off a hard charging Derek Hagar for third while multi-time USCS champion Terry Gray came home in fifth.

Seymour,TN - May 3, 2013 - The ROCKAUTO.COM USCS mini sprint feature hit the track with a roar as front row Chris Openshaw from Bessemer, Alabama and Matt McCullough from Atlanta, Georgia set the pace and came screaming off of turn four in a hard fought battle for the first 6 laps. Bobby Zaiontz moved his way into the second position on lap 7 and dogged the #17 of Openshaw the remainder of the feature race. The #1 of Zaiontz said he had a good car but just could not complete the pass for the lead. Clean racing was the order of the night as the large 411 crowd were on their feet cheering the heated battle. McCullough finished a strong third followed by “Magic” Mike Magic in forth and an impressive run from the rear of the field by Shawn Nelson from Ooltewah, Tenn for the fifth position.

In order to give the fans on hand at Duck River Raceway Park on Saturday night (4/20) something else to talk about, the United Sprint Car Series Outlaw Thunder Tour has added an additional element to Saturday nights program. The USCS sprint car drivers will compete via the USCS time trial format on this Saturday night at Duck River Raceway Park. This format is used at all USCS Asphalt events and generally on the first night of a two-day show.

But, according to USCS Founder and President, Pete Walton "We just want to give the Duck River fans something to see and talk about and let them know how fast the USCS Outlaw Thunder Tour winged sprint cars are really gonna' go at the Duck. I believe the all-time track record is held by Vic Hill with a lap of 12.10. I would really expect that to fall. These cars are usually a second to a second and a half faster than the Super Late Models. With the talent we have in this series, I would expect to see several drivers set a new all-time mark for Duck River Raceway Park if the track conditions are there for the speed' concluded Walton..

Under the USCS time trial format, every driver will time trial qualify. Following time trials and depending on the number of cars entered, either 4, 5 or 6 cars invert in their qualifying heat race order. The top finishing (4, 5 or 6) cars from the heats get their times back and then are scheduled to start the main event in that order. EXCEPT their will still be a K&N Filters inversion draw for thew top six cars after all qualifying rounds to determine the final order for the front three rows in the main event.

The time trials for the Super Late Models and the USCS winged sprint cars will both occur early in the racing program, shortly after hot laps. Be there early for this part of the speed spectacle. Gates open Saturday at Duck River Raceway Park at 2:00pm...The drivers meeting is at 5:00pm and Hot ;laps are immediately thereafter. The time trials should start between 6:15 and 6:30 pm so come early! For more info on Duck River Raceway Park, please visit www.duckriverracewaypark.com or call 931-685-1009 or 931-684-8200.
